  • The game offers a challenging experience for seasoned nonogram players, requiring logical deduction to solve puzzles.
  • It provides a large number of puzzles to keep players engaged for hours, making it a decent time-killer.
  • The visuals are colorful and appealing, adding a fun aesthetic to the puzzle-solving experience.
  • The game lacks basic quality of life features, such as the ability to cross off completed numbers, making it cumbersome to track progress.
  • It suffers from poor user interface design, including small font sizes and a mobile-like control scheme that feels inadequate for PC gaming.
  • There are microtransactions for hints and other features, which detracts from the overall experience and feels like a cash grab.
  • graphics
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have received criticism for lacking customizable settings and resolution options, leading to a low-quality visual experience that does not meet the expectations of PC gamers. While the graphic interface is acceptable and some visuals can be enjoyable, overall, the game's graphics are considered underwhelming.

    • “Graphic interface is fine.”
    • “Visuals are a bit too sweet, but it can be fun.”
    • “Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing.”
    • “There's no option to change the resolution for the game or customize the graphics settings.”
    • “There's no way for gamers to try to improve the low-quality graphics.”
    • “Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high-quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing.”
  • monetization
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization model in this game relies heavily on in-app purchases, which frustrates players who have already paid for the game. While microtransactions for hints and level unlocks can be ignored by skilled players, the presence of these features feels cheap and indicative of a mobile port rather than a polished new title. Overall, the reliance on microtransactions detracts from the experience for many users.

    • “Any microtransactions can easily be ignored in this game, unless you struggle and constantly need hints.”
    • “This is clearly a mobile port, complete with microtransactions to unlock levels sooner if you clear the beginner tasks too quickly.”
    • “For sure it's free, and they have the same in-game purchases for the validator and hints usable to complete a puzzle.”
    • “This in-app purchase model is common in mobile games but frustrating in games I already paid for.”
    • “First, this is clearly a mobile port, complete with microtransactions to unlock levels sooner if you clear the beginner things too fast.”
    • “For sure it's free and they have the same in-game purchase for the validator and the hints usable to complete a puzzle, but it just feels cheap to me that they reused the same code without fixing the issues it has and made it available like a 'brand-new' game.”
  • gameplay
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay in "Picross Bonbon" is criticized for its lack of an intuitive interface, making it feel similar to solving nonograms on paper without helpful feedback on correctness. Players express frustration over the necessity to guess in certain puzzles, which detracts from the challenge and satisfaction of solving them. However, fans of similar games may still find enjoyment due to familiar mechanics.

    • “If you have already tried 'Picross Fairytale - Nonogram: Red Riding Hood Secret' and enjoyed it enough to play it again, you will enjoy 'Picross Bonbon - Nonogram' because it has the same mechanics.”
    • “For better or worse (I say worse), the puzzle gameplay in Picross Bonbon is the closest to what I imagine playing a nonogram in a book or newspaper would be like: the interface doesn't tell you whether you've put the marks in the correct place, nor does it tell you whether you've completed a row or column correctly.”
    • “However, the biggest, most egregious flaw in the nonogram gameplay, in my opinion, is that you will eventually reach puzzles where you have to guess (or use a hint).”
    • “I do not want things that help tell me if I'm right or wrong the moment I click on it; otherwise, I can just let the mechanics solve the puzzle for me by clicking every single square mindlessly.”
  • music
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally well-received, with players appreciating certain standout moments that enhance the overall experience.

    • “The music is fine, and I actually really liked some moments.”
  • stability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users report issues with stability, particularly regarding buggy achievements that fail to register correctly, such as completing tasks offline without the corresponding achievements unlocking.

    • “The achievements are buggy; I completed the last of the Antarctica continent offline, and the game shows I've finished them all, but the relevant achievements haven't popped.”
    • “The game crashes frequently, making it nearly impossible to progress without losing hours of work.”
    • “I've encountered numerous glitches that disrupt gameplay, causing me to restart levels multiple times.”
  • grinding
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious and frustrating, particularly due to the interruption of gameplay when needing to stop painting to navigate across previously painted areas.

    • “So tedious and painstaking to have to stop painting and start again when crossing painted rows or columns.”
